User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

When browsing a web page with numerous links with keyboard, Firefox doesn't take actual focus into account.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox, Start Google.com
2.type "mozilla" in a search window
3.press page down few times to browse to the very end of the list
4.press tab
Firefox sets focus to the first link while your actual view is different.



Expected Results:  
Start Opera.
1. Reproduce steps 1 and 2 from above (search for "firefox" in google and scroll down with PgDown to the end of the list)
2. Press Shift+Down

And Opera selects the very first link of your actual view.

IMHO that kind of behavior is more logical.
Summary: Keyboard link navigation and page focus → Tab key should focus first visible item instead of first item (if page has been scrolled)
